It is the year 2003, the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons wages on. Fortunately for the Autobots, help has arrived. A group from Cybertron, the Autobots home planet, has just landed on Earth. They are led by Ultra Magnus.
"Magnus, it's good to see you again old friend." Said Optimus Prime as he greeted the robots exiting the shuttle.
"It's good to see you too. What's the situation like?"
"Not good. The Decepticons are somehow getting stronger everyday, and we can't find their energy source. We wouldn't have made it much longer without help." Suddenly, Prime and Magnus were hit really hard.
"Sorry about that." Hot Rod yelled as he drove away.
"Magnus, why did you have to bring him?"
"Not my choice." He turned to the shuttle. "Blurr, go get Hot Rod."
"Allright,Magnusyoucancountonmetodoit,i'lldoit.i'lldoit." Blurr said really fast as he transformed and sped off.
"I don't think I've seen action away from Cybertron in at least twenty years." said Kup as he exited the shuttle. "But it is great to see you guys again. We were all really worried when we didn't here from you. Now where did that idiot Hot Rod go off to?"
"I sent Blurr to go get him." Magnus said.
"I hope we can make something out of that boy." Then Arcee and Springer exited the shuttle. After a few minutes of talking, and after finding Hot Rod, Optimus took the robots on a tour of the base.
"We hope to start work on an ultimate base." said Optimus. "We are going to call it Autobot City."
"Optimus," yelled Trailbreaker, "Decepticon activity detected about ten miles from here."
"Assemble a strike force and roll out." A few minutes later, Trailblazer returned with Jazz, Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl, Mirage, Hound, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker.
"Magnus, would you and the others like to join us?" Optimus asked.
"We'll help."
"Autobots, transform and roll out."
====================================================
Within a few minutes, the Autobots reached the Decepticons. Optimus had planned a sneak attack, but Hot Rod ruined that. Megatron felt the blast and saw the Autobots approaching.
"Decepticons, attack!" Megatron transformed into his gun mode and went into Soundwave's hand.
"Ravage, Rumble, Lazerbeak, Frenzy, Ratbat, eject." soundwave said in his monotone voice. "Operation: Destruction." The five cassettes ejected from Soundwave and transformed.
Starscream and the others Decepticon jets transformed and went kamikaze. Thundercracker barreled into Hound and sent him flying into Kup.
"Constructicons, form Devastator." Megatron commanded. The six robots combined into one. The Autobots were in trouble. Devastator grabbed Mirage and ripped his head off. Then Ultra Magnus rammed into Devastator causing him to seperate into the individual Constructicons.
"Ironhide, duck!" Jazz yelled as he shot Skywarp out of the air.
"Look out, Jazz!" Ironhide then returned the favor by blasting Swindle. All of a sudden, a lot jets came out of nowhere.
"What in the heck are these things?" Prowl asked as he started to shoot them down.
"Do you like my new jet drones?" asked Megatron. "I made them especcially for you." He laughed maniacally as he let off a few shots at Optimus. The drones pummeled the Autobot forces. Trailbreaker, Ratchet and Hound took critical hits. The Autobots chances looked slim.
"You know what?" Springer asked. "I have better things to do tonight than die. Blurr, got any thermal charges?"
"Sure.ButcanIaskwhatyou'redoing?canI?canI?What'stheplan?"
"You're fast. Get in there, plant the charges and get out of there as fast as only you can."
"Willdo.Youcancountonmetodoit." blurr was able to get the charges planted, but a jet drone hit him and caused him to get caught in the blast. Things weren't looking good.
"Me Grimlock hate Decepticons." The Dinobots had arrived. They had the brute force the Autobots needed. Within a few minutes, all the jet drones were destroyed."
"Thank you." said Optimus.
"No problem. Me Grimlock like smash Decepticons."
"What in the world are those things?" Arcee asked.
"These are the Dinobots." Said Jazz. "They're our one up on the Decepticons."
"Are they like us? Is that their transformation mode." The Dinobots then transformed into their robot moded. "That answers my question."
"Autobots," Optimus said, "We have to get to the base. We must tend to the injured and mourn the lost. Ironhide, get Mirage." Ironhide transformed into his van mode and the body of Mirage was placed into him. Deeply saddened, the Autobots returned to base.
====================================================
"How did it go?" asked Bumblebee.
"Not good." said Sunstreaker. "We lost Mirage."
"Any severe injuries?"
"Yeah. Ratchet was one of them. Call Wheeljack and the Protectobots." Through the night, the Autobot surgeons worked to repair their friends.
"Jazz, I would like you to go on a special mission for me." said Optimus. "I need you to go to Olympia and retrieve the power core for Autobot City. Take as many Autobots as you need. We can't afford to mess this up."
"I understand, Optimus. I'll tell you who I'm taking in the morning. I need time to think."
"Take all the time you need. You leave the day after tomorrow."
"Alright."
The next day came as the Autobots prepared to begin work on Autobot City. Jazz, in his Porsche mode, drove to Optimus's office. When Jazz entered the office he transformed.
"Good morning, Optimus."
"Have you chosen your team, Jazz?"
"I sure have. I've decided to take nine Autobots besides myself. They are: Kup, Hot Rod, Ironhide, Hound, Trailbreaker, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Blaster, and Rev."
"I like your choices. But why Hot Rod and Rev.?"
"I think Hot Rod can be useful. He did do good against those drones. Rev needs experience. He has a lot of talent and power, but he needs to harness that. Only field experience can do that."
"I understand. Be ready to head out tomorrow."
"Will do."
====================================================
The next morning, Jazz and his group transformed and headed for Olympia. Meanwhile, at the base, Optimus was deep in thought.
Was it a good idea to send them on this mission. Optimus thought. If those drones attack, they'll be helpless. Just then, Ultra magnus walked in.
"What can I do for you, Magnus?"
"I just want to know more about Autobot City."
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything. What exactly will it be."
"Autobot City will be a very large base. It will have enough room to station several hundred Autobots." He went on to describe the weapon systems. It would have numerous weapons. It would be able to transform into a defensive mode to take out enemies from all angles. Eventually, It would be able to transform into a robot mode which would be called Metroplex. It would be a great protector like Omega Supreme, but would be more effective becuase it would not be so far away from the base. This is because it would be the base. The base would have advanced scanners. The only way to get in would be to hijack an Autobot shuttle, but luckily those were heavily guarded. Many components were still being developed. One of these was the transformation cog needed to turn Autobot city into Metroplex. It would be completed within a few months. Some of the weapon systems were still being built, but those would be installed in a few days. They also had to work security problems. What about the Space Bridge? Because they were further away from it, how would they secure it. The Decepticons might have more access to Cybertron. That was one thing Optimus did not want. He then called in a few Autobots.
"Huffer, Inferno, Seaspray, Tracks, I want you to guard the Space Bridge. Because we are further away from it, security becomes a problem. I don't want the Decepticons to get a hold of it."
"We'll do our best." Huffer said."
"I don't expect less." said Optimus. They then transformed. Huffer into a small hauling truck, Inferno into a fire truck, Tracks into a sports car, and Seaspray rode on Huffer because he turned into a powerboat. They headed towards the Space Bridge."
====================================================
Meanwhile, Jazz and his team were on the road. He wondered if this was a good mission to go on. In the Autobots weakened conditioned, could they survive a Decepticon attack with as few troops as they had. If onlf they could find some energon to power themselves. All they needed now was a lot of luck.
"Jazz, I'm not feeling too good." Said Ironhide. "I'm getting low on energon."
"Unfortunately, the next energon station isn't until Olympia."
"Jazz, I'm picking something up on my scanners." Said Rev. "I think it's Decepticons."
"Autobots, transform and get ready for attack." It took a few minutes, but then the battle erupted. The enemy consisted of Starscream and his jet drones. The Decepticon jets (Skywarp and Thundercracker) were there also. Rev found himself surrounded by several drones, but they were no match for his laser cannons. Blaster decided to add to the fight by ejecting his cassette robots. Ironhide, being his normal self, was having fun blasting Starscream. Hound helped his side by creating hologram copies of him and the other Autobots. A few of the drones blew up because their logic circuits blew. Trailbreaker took a few shots from Thundercracker, then Hot Rod came and helped by blasting Thundercracker.
"Are you all right?" asked Hot Rod.
"I'll be okay. Let's roll." The two then transformed to rejoin the fight, but an explosive from a jet drone seperated them from the group.
Rev continued to gun down jet drones when one of them hit him and Ironhide with a device and they both vanished.
"What's happening Jazz?" asked Ratchet.
"I don't know."
"Kup and Wheeljack just dissappeared." Hound said. Then him and Blaster disappeared.
"Ratchet, let's transform and get out of here."
"Good idea Jazz."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, at Autobot headquarters, Optimus was waiting for a status report.
"Ultra Magnus, have you heard anything from Jazz?"
"Not yet."
"What about Huffer?"
"I haven't heard from them either."
"I'm starting to get worried. There is a strong possibility of Decepticon attacks."
"Do you want me to contact Olympia and see if they arrived yet."
"Go do that." Magnus then walked off to the communications room.
"Cliffjumper, open comm lines to Olympia."
"Will do." After a few minutes, Pipes appeared on the screen.
"Pipes, have Jazz and his team arrived yet." asked Magnus.
"I didn't even know they were supposed to be here."
"That's not good. They were supposed to pick up the transformation cog. Be on alert. You might be getting some Decepticon activity really soon."
"We'll be ready for them. Thanks for the heads up."
